To celebrate the occasion of Yoga Day, a Yoga Demo event was held at SNBP School, Morewadi, Pune. Harshita Kakade of IX-D participated in the event. Following is her narrative of the day:
“My name is Harshita Kakade from Grade IX at S.B. Patil Public School. I participated in a yoga demo held at SNBP International School in Morwadi, Pimpri on June21st, 2021 which is internationally known as Yoga Day.
On this day we gathered to SNBP School to perform our demo. We were individually called out by our coach, Mr. Manoj Kale sir from Elite Fitness Academy, to give our performance. There were many different poses and asanas performed by us. All asanas have different benefits and uses.
A total 186 asanas were performed by 11 girls from the Elite Fitness Academy’s Yoga and Gymnastics Group. After the demo there was also a See-and-Do session where we performed very simple asanas, and everyone in the audience had to do the same. These poses were asanas which should be done at least once every day to stay fit for example: suryanamaskar, pranayam and meditation.
This session was held so that that everyone gains common knowledge of yoga,earns the encouragement to stay fit at home and increase their immunity power during this pandemic. This event was also streamed live from Facebook which helped benefit countless people.”
We thank and congratulate Harshita for having participated in such an inspiring and meaningful event and wish her the very best for all her future undertakings.
